Sportsmark is Sport England's accreditation scheme for secondary schools. The scheme recognises a school's out of hours sports provision.[http://www.sportdevelopment.org.uk/html/sportsmarks.html Sportsmark & Activemark] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061012084647/http://www.sportdevelopment.org.uk/html/sportsmarks.html |date=2006-10-12 }}

Sportsmark awards are given to secondary schools for provision for sport and physical education. They are currently being reviewed along with Activemark awards with plans for a new sports partnership mark. When the policies were introduced there was little other investment into school sport. In England, if a school or college is given sportsmark accreditation, it is then entered for specialist status.
